This cooperative agreement opportunity is open to all public and private entities located in U.S. states and territories, including nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, state and local governments, tribal organizations, and for-profit entities; no cost share or matching is required. OPA intends to make available approximately $8.3 million for an estimated nine cooperative agreement awards of $650,000 to $1,250,000 each over a period of up to five years, though actual availability is contingent on FY 2027 budget enactment.
Applicants must implement and rigorously evaluate interventions promoting body literacy education while ensuring transparency and protection of parental rights, including advance notice to parents, opportunity to review content, and clear opt-out provisions for materials conflicting with religious exercise or sincerely held beliefs.
